UNITROL SOFT TOUCH Manual for Welders
UNITROL SOFT TOUCH Manual for Welders The SOFT TOUCH Pinch-Point Safety System is the first and only fully passive safeguarding equipment designed to prevent a spot welder, a riveter or other small machine from applying full force if it detects fingers in the machine’s point-of-operation area. SOFT TOUCH prevents hand injuries and eliminates associated expenses such as hospitalization, lost days of work, higher insurance premiums and legal action. It does all this while not slowing down manufacturing operations. OSHA-compliant SOFT TOUCH technology will take you from pinch-point to pinch-proof without losing a minute of productivity. https://www.rockfordsystems.com/unitrol-soft-touch/ https://www.rockfordsystems.com/product/unitrol-soft-touch-pinch-point-safety-system-for-welders/

SETTING <strong>SOFT</strong> <strong>TOUCH</strong> BOARD MAXIMUM DETECT TIME SWITCHES<br />
Locate the four-section ADD FOR DETECT TIME DIPswitch on the left side of each <strong>SOFT</strong><br />
<strong>TOUCH</strong> board. This switch is marked: 1, .75, .5, and .25 seconds. Set the switches to a<br />
value that is about 2 times how long it will take <strong>for</strong> the electrodes to close. The on-board<br />
computer adds the value of these switches. For example, pushing 1 and .5 down to the<br />
left side will produce a detection time of 1.5 seconds. This setting is not critical. A typical<br />
setting is 1 second. Longer times might be needed <strong>for</strong> very long stroke cylinders<br />
For example, in the photo below the 0.25 and 1 switch is pushed down toward the top of<br />
the board <strong>for</strong> a total maximum detect time of 1.25 seconds.<br />
DETECT BLANK TIME<br />
After the <strong>SOFT</strong> <strong>TOUCH</strong> board is initiated, the system will not<br />
look <strong>for</strong> continuity until the DETECT BLANK TIME has been<br />
reached. This time is 50% of the time you set on the ADD<br />
FOR DETECT TIME DIPswitch.<br />
TESTING THE BASIC PNEUMATIC SYSTEM<br />
1. Clean electrodes on welder<br />
2. With nothing between electrodes, close electrodes by turning ON the TIP DRESS<br />
switch at the bottom of the annunciator panel.<br />
3. The electrodes should close.<br />
4. Turn OFF the TIP DRESS switch and the electrodes will open.<br />
